Vodafone’s jumped on board the Galaxy Tab ship in a big way, with a garden maze of pricing plans to cater just about anyone who would ever consider using a 7-inch tablet device. Let’s work our way through the plans with a chainsaw.
It’s all well and good for Optus to have unlimited calls to other Optus numbers as part of their Pre-paid Dollar Days deals, but how do you know which of your contacts are with Optus? With a handy “Who’s who tone” that lets you know when you dial the number.
One dollar a day sounds so much cheaper than $30 a month, which could be why Optus has just re-jigged their prepaid offering to offer “Dollar Days”, with mobile services ranging from $1 to $3 a day.
With some of the data deals popping up on smartphone plans these days, the need for an extra dongle to get your PC connected wirelessly are numbered. But they’re not dead yet, as exemplified by Vodafone cutting the price of their mobile broadband starter pack to $49.
I love it when Gus over at Lifehacker lets his inner Excel-geek go to make information tables. There’s always so much information in such a concise form factor – it’s almost enough to make the spreadsheet nerd in me weep for joy. Almost. His latest effort is a comparison between all the current pre-paid offerings for mobile broadband. And it’s comprehensive.
Well, they sure took their sweet time in announcing the pricing for their iPad MicroSIMs, but Vodafone and Three have come out with a pretty darned competitive pricing plan for anyone picking up a 3G tablet…
We all know that the telcos rip us off when it comes to global roaming, but if you were hoping that the iPad’s 3G Micro SIM might be a bit of an exception to the rule, think again. We’ve received some (admittedly poor quality) pics of the upcoming Telstra Micro SIM brochure and the pricing for international roaming is absurd.
